Ingredients

The following ingredients have 24 Servings
  • 1 ¾ cup almond flour
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp xanthan gum
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ to ½ tsp cayenne (optional, adds a nice kick)
  • ½ cup butter (cut into pieces and softened)
  • 4 ounces sharp Cheddar (grated, room temperature)
  • 1 egg yolk (room temperature)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 300F and line two baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper.
  • Place the almond flour, coconut flour, salt, xanthan gum, garlic powder, and cayenne in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times to combine.
  • Scatter the pieces of butter and grated cheese overtop of the dry ingredients and then add the egg yolk. Pulse until well combined and the dough gathers itself into a ball.
  • Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with an open star tip, and pipe the dough into 3 inch lines. They can be quite close together, as they don’t really spread. (You can also place the dough in a cookie press and create fun shapes).
  • Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until just golden brown, then turn of the oven and let the straws sit inside 5 more minutes. Keep a close eye on them so they don’t brown too much.
  • Remove and let cool completely on the pan.
